Hughesair (Inflection Point)

Retired physician and air taxi operator, science writer and part time assistant professor, these editorials cover a wide range of topics. Mostly non political, mostly true, I write more from a lifetime of experience and from research, more science than convention. Subjects cover medicine, Alaska aviation, economics, technology and an occasional book review. Globalization or Democracy documents the historical roots of Oligarchy, the road to colonialism and tyranny

Arctic temperatures and Altitude

A reminder or a clue if you haven't got one, the mountains grow taller in winter. Your altimeter lies, but so does everybody else's. The FAA is slow to acknowledge, but a chart can now be found in the AIM. The difference becomes critical and substantial in extreme cold. The delta increases with altitude.
